Storage

Design challenge:

Moving toward a cloud-based future, businesses demand more effective, more secure, and more powerful data center storage solutions with 24/7 reliability and built with redundant and field replaceable configurations. Our client planned to offer a next-generation data storage system that fulfilled multiple SAS/SATA capacity needs and met the requirements of expandability, stability and greater cache capacity.

Switch

Design challenge:

Most business networks today use switches to connect networked devices, such as computers, printers and servers, within a building or campus. Our client considered adding a network switch to strengthen their existing product offering, and they planned to roll out an energy-efficient switch with high performance, manageability and well-balanced fast throughput.

Outdoor Gateway

Design challenge:

The Internet of Things (IoT)/Internet of Everything (IoE) is changing everything every day, and has expanded IT networks from indoor to outdoor environments. Our client, a major player offering IoT/IoE networking solutions, decided to design an outdoor gateway to complete their offering of a seamless solution for wireless sensor networks. Their requirements for the outdoor gateway included wide-temperature support, ruggedness, high reliability and compact design.

Portwell resolution:

Portwell’s COM Express module solution was adopted as the building block for the outdoor networking gateway.

IoT/IoE

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables a network of physical objects—including devices, vehicles, buildings and many other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity—to collect and exchange data. IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. It takes the vision and combined efforts of many ecosystems to enable IoT now and empower IoT in the future. As an active member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, Portwell has realized the critical role a network communication computing system plays and has wasted no time in developing outdoor gateways and communication appliances that are scalable, power efficient and with wide-temperature support.

SDN & NFV, CDN

In computer networking, software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) are complementary approaches, each offering a new way to design, deploy and manage the network and its services. Specifically, for content delivery network (CDN), with NFV’s focus on optimizing the network services themselves, it makes it very easy to host multiple virtual machines of virtualized CDN platforms on a standard x86 based COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) platform, which results in optimized content quality, efficiency and delivery costs. Portwell understands the need and importance of reliability, power efficiency, performance, and time to the market, and offers flexible modular design solutions, and custom high-end white box severs to fulfill all these requirements.
